A Ukrainian Officer’s Captured Russian Tank Wasn’t Working. So He Called Tech Support—In Russia.

Reply in thread

I highly doubt they weren't aware of the majority of these issues. They didn't exist because of ignorance towards tank-building. These problem-points probably existed because of corners cut during manufacturing and financial obstacles, which cannot be simply cleared up once the factory is made aware thereof.

It was probably also very good for the Ukranian forces' morale to hear about this and about how the Russian helpline even ended up helping the enemy with their captured tank.

But yeah, they most likely didn't just find out how crappy their tanks are manufactured thanks to this one incident.

Stardew Valley creator confirms he's made "a ton of progress" on update 1.6

I've been playing and replaying it since its original PC-only release in 2016. I remember being so excited about a new game finally improving on thr Harvest Moon formula. I think it's safe to say that today it has completely surpassed other games in the genre. The freedom and variety of tasks in the game has since enticed me towards further replays as well. It's so inspiring how passionate Barone has been towards his creation in the long run too.

Why is the top text and bottom text so similar? Is the bottom text a new question? Or is it supposed to replace the question asked by the girl? Where is the answer to the 2nd question? Pretty shite implementation of a pretty cool meme.

Alabama preacher F.L. ‘Bubba’ Copeland kills himself after being outed as ‘transgender curvy girl’

Unfortunately the "shame" surrounding these things stem from the concept of sin and living as a "sinner" in a "fallen world". I've been shamed countless times because of things the church did not agree with. I don't know if he ever preached any transphobic ideas in his time, but biblical ideologies are rife with gender roles and toxic ideas about women and masculinity. Even if he didn't preach any of that toxic garbage, he must have been struggling a lot with his own identity, even though he said it's only for fun and stress relief (paraphrasing). Small towns don't act gracefully towards people experimenting with their sexualities like this. Can only imagine the rejection he must have experienced having all of this play off on the grand stage of his life in that little town, since literally everyone there knew him.

Jesus Christ... Where's the humanity? They called you a pro-gun weirdo lemming (reddit ≈ redditor; lemmy ≈ lemming) and nowhere did they state or even suggest that you were subhuman. Suggesting someone might deserve an active shooter? Nah man, fuck you all the way to Pluto and back.

Btw, I actually agreed with your original message. It's your response to the comment that I'm criticising.

Which is better: Linux or GNU/Linux

According to one alternative posted in the past by a member of the Furry community?

But yeah, you're wrong. Linux is predominantly portrayed by a penguin mascot, Tux. Some distros are named after penguin species too (Gentoo for example)

The 1000+ Palestinian kids being killed daily by Israeli forces are victims of this "beef" stretching back thousands of years, which is messed up and unfair (stating it mildly). I think that's what most people are pointing out, that and Israel bombing hospitals.
